A full ten days until the Eve of Christmas and I am done with my shopping. A world record for me. Usually I have at least one or two hold out gifts that I need as the day looms large, but not this year. I probably spent more than I should, and I know I bought for way too many people I shouldn't have, but it's all good. I think everyone will enjoy what I've managed to procure them this year. I have written all my cards (well over 100 this year) and wrapped 90% of the gifts, so now I can go on cruise control and start handing them out.
In other Holly Jolly news, looks like I will be donning a Santa Suit for the ladies at work some time in the near future. The price one must pay for being rotund enough. Since I appear to be in good spirits this year, I guess it's only befitting that I sweat in that red straight jacket for everyone's amusement. I'm sure the kids will be lining up to sit on my lap and tell me what they want from Santa. God help me.
Work is getting hairy. Guess all those last minute shoppers are losing their patience...I'm sure that someone's holiday will be ruined by the likes of me. I have the power to make or break some teenage rich kids life this year and I intend to use it. "I'm sorry, your Ask Yoda doll won't be making it on time....no really I am."
To celebrate my completion of shopping for the holiday, I took in Finding Neverland today. (Ah, AMC giftcards...I love you.) Well, Mr. Depp has done it again, another superb performance. I cried like a little bitch about mid way into it, even though I'm not that big a fan of Peter Pan the story. It's mushy and fantastical, so if you like that type of crap, go see it. I did find it funny that Dustin Hoffman played the producer of JM Barrie's plays in the film and was once Hook in that crappy Robin Williams movie. Hmmm, interesting casting choice I suppose. My only word of warning, don't expect to see Kate Winslet looking her finest. Dumpy and dying she is. (oops....)
